Msg. 4-I got one of the 4 books read that I listed, but I'm thinking that was just too much for how many ARCs I have on my plate this month. I'm carrying over the three unfinished to May. We'll see how that goes ;)
Good job, Tari! I know what you mean about ARC's. I've been concentrating on them lately too.

April's clean up challenge is here! Take a look at your challenges and decide what needs to be cleaned up and marked off your list next. This is kind of like a read-a-thon...with a twist. The goal is to help us complete a difficult challenge - or one that has been lingering for a while :)
To Start: You will need to pick a specific "target" to work on...a challenge that is proving difficult to finish, a challenge that needs just a few books to complete....any reading challenge you've been working on for some time, but haven't been able to finish.
Please Note: You are welcome to use just a section of a specific challenge if you prefer. For example: If you are working on the Ben & Jerry's Challenge, and you have just a letter or two (or more) to complete a certain flavor, you are welcome to use that as your challenge clean up goal.
Next: Post your specific target or goal below, and you are ready to get started.
The Twist: If this target or goal isn't completed during the month of April, you will have to "carry it over" into May. Don't worry....if you choose something that proves impossible, you can "scratch" it (remove it from your list) and move on to the next challenge you need to finish.
